Uruguay Identifies and Buries Woman Abducted During Dictatorship

Nearly 50 years after her disappearance, Amelia Sanjurjo receives a proper burial in Montevideo following forensic identification.

Amelia Sanjurjo was abducted in 1977 during Uruguay's military dictatorship and recently identified through DNA testing.
Her remains were exhumed from a military base last year and identified with the help of forensic teams and family DNA samples.
Sanjurjo's identification marks a rare success in the ongoing efforts to find and identify victims of the dictatorship.
The burial ceremony in Montevideo was attended by family members, supporters, and representatives of the disappeared.
Uruguay continues to seek justice and accountability for the nearly 200 people who disappeared during the dictatorship.
